Additional details
This was my first cruise so I don't have much to base my expectations on other than previous reviews.
I have to admit I was nervous about going due to quite a few negative reviews from some of the users on this site but I was pleasantly surprised.
When we arrived at the cruise terminal at Tilbury there was an extremely long queue waiting for the car park, the ship was late into port due to bad weather which meant that they were several hours late, this meant that passengers disembarking were not leaving the car park quick enough for the embarking passengers to get in, this caused us to leave 2 hours later than planned. If you can I would advise just getting someone to drop you off as this took less than half an hour to get onto the ship compared to several hours just waiting to get into the car park.
Cabin Review
Hairdryer, tv with 10+ channels (although the audio didn't match the programme on a lot of them), Wet room style shower, small lip meant the water could spill over if the sea was a bit choppy, only two small lights above mirror in the bathroom meant it could be very dark when showering. Power shower was lovely with boiling hot water from the moment you turned it on. The outside of the window was a bit dirty so meant looking out was a bit difficult but because we were low down to the sea I gathered this was to be expected. Three door wardrobes available with safe inside, there was space inside the wardrobes for the empty cases to be stored. The electrical sockets are all European plugs so you must remember to bring an adapter as these can't be bought anywhere on board. There was a small coffee table in the corner and a chair in the other corner. Air conditioning was available but was controlled by a manual dial on the ceiling with a blue directional arrow, cant say I actually felt it work despite turning it off and on full blast.
